[jcifs] Re: 3ed packet capture, from domain, new dfs root

[Christopher R. Hertel]

Mike,

There is a Capabilities bit that indicates DFS capabilities:
CAP_DFS == 0x00001000

A smart client might see that bit and just ask for referrals.  If the 
share is on the server, would the referral just hand back the same path?

Hmmm...
